    (EN)S2 EP.14 François-Paul Journe, Founder of F.P. Journe: The Discipline of Independence

    🎬 In this episode, now out in English, I'm joined by François-Paul Journe, founder of F.P. Journe, one of the most respected names in independent watchmaking. Nothing about his path was conventional. A poor student, kicked out of nearly every school he attended, he learned his craft by restoring antique watches, developing an intimate understanding of mechanics long before he ever designed a piece of his own. His first watch took five years to complete, but it left him with a clear conviction: follow his own vision, without compromise. In 1999, he founded his own House with a radical approach: produce little, control everything, and never waver on precision. 🔥 A rare, unfiltered conversation on creation, independence, and what it really means to build a House while staying true to yourself. What you'll discover in this episode: 🔧 From repairing other people's watches to building his own: how years spent restoring antique pieces shaped his entire approach to mechanics. ⏳ The five years behind his first watch: and the conviction that time, not speed, is what makes a watch worth making. 🏛️ Founding F.P. Journe in 1999: producing little, controlling everything, with no compromise on precision. 🤝 Rarity and client relationships: his refusal of market-driven marketing, and how he manages desirability without chasing volume. ▶️ Listen to the full episode in English, out today on all platforms. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss what's next, and follow me on Instagram & LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/loudana ⭐ Did you enjoy this episode?

    (EN)N°5 - Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot: How do you earn legitimacy while shaking up an entire industry?

    🎬 In this episode, now out in English, I'm joined by Julien Tornare, CEO of Hublot, the Swiss watchmaking House known for turning disruption into an art form. Julien's path here wasn't obvious: a competitive water skier from Geneva, he started in sales at Raymond Weil before spending 17 years at Vacheron Constantin, running Europe, the US, and eventually all of Asia from Hong Kong. He went on to revive Zenith as CEO, and now leads Hublot, a House barely 45 years old that built a global following without a single century of heritage to lean on. 🔥 A candid conversation on what it takes to build a cult brand by refusing to play by the old rules of luxury. What you'll discover in this episode: ⚙️ A House built on audacity, not heritage: how Hublot, founded by Carlo Crocco in 1980, became the first to fuse gold and rubber, and turned that boldness into its entire identity. 🏆 Disruptive marketing, real watchmaking: behind the sports partnerships (Djokovic, Bolt, Mbappé) sits genuine in-house engineering, with movements like the Unico built entirely in Switzerland. 🤝 The Hublotistas: how Hublot turns clients into a community through experiences designed to build real, lasting relationships. 🏭 A new Manufacture in Nyon: a glimpse behind the scenes of what's coming next for the House. ▶️ Listen to the full episode in English, out today on all platforms. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss what's next, and follow me on Instagram & LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/loudana ⭐ Did you enjoy this episode?

    (EN) S1 EP.11 Jean-Baptiste Sassine, CEO of Messika: A Modern Vision for Luxury Jewelry

    🎬 In this episode — now out in English — I'm joined by Jean-Baptiste Sassine, CEO of Messika, the French jewelry Maison founded alongside Valérie Messika.Jean-Baptiste's story is rooted in family expertise: his connection to André Messika, one of France's most respected diamond dealers, laid the foundation for what would become one of the most disruptive names in contemporary jewelry. From "3 or 4 people around a small table" in André Messika's office to a House now present in over 65 countries, he built Messika through disciplined, organic growth — without ever raising major outside funding. In this conversation, he looks back on the creation of the Move, originally called "La Cage," which grew into a signature sometimes more recognizable than the Messika name itself, and on what it takes to keep a legacy house feeling disruptive decades in.🔥 A candid, wide-ranging conversation that I hope teaches you as much as it taught me.What you'll discover in this episode:💎 André Messika's legacy: the story of one of France's leading diamond dealers, and the family expertise Messika was built on🔗 The birth of the Move: how "La Cage" became one of jewelry's most iconic signatures worldwide🌍 Global expansion without external funding: growing to 65+ countries through disciplined, organic growth⚡ Staying "Disruptive Diamond": the mindset behind Messika's constant reinvention▶️ Listen to the full episode in English, out today on all platforms.🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss what's next, and follow me on Instagram & LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/loudana⭐ Did you enjoy this episode?

    (EN) N°1 - Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of LVMH Watches & Bvlgari Group: The Story of Bvlgari and TAG Heuer

    🎬 In this episode, now out in English, I'm joined by Jean-Christophe Babin, CEO of Bvlgari for over a decade and now head of LVMH's Watches division, overseeing Houses like TAG Heuer, Hublot, and Zenith alongside Bvlgari. Jean-Christophe's path into luxury is anything but conventional: from HEC Paris and the French Navy, to Procter & Gamble and The Boston Consulting Group, before landing at TAG Heuer and later Bvlgari. In this conversation, he opens up about rebuilding brands from the ground up, the discipline behind reviving heritage without falling into nostalgia, and what it really takes to lead an entire watchmaking division for one of the world's largest luxury groups. 🔥 A candid, wide-ranging conversation that I hope teaches you as much as it taught me. What you'll discover in this episode: 🏭 The history of the Manufacture de Neuchâtel: once famous for its railway clocks, now the beating heart of Bvlgari's watchmaking, and a place where his own family's history quietly echoes. 🏛️ Roman architecture and watch design: how the lines and volumes of ancient Rome shape every new Bvlgari timepiece, including the record-breaking Octo Finissimo. 👑 Women and the evolving luxury market: how the rise of women in professional roles has reshaped luxury spending, and why that shift has been a growth engine for Bvlgari. ⚙️ Heritage meets innovation: how a century-old house stays alive through cutting-edge technology and constant creative reinvention. ▶️ Listen to the full episode in English, out today on all platforms. 🔔 Subscribe so you don't miss what's next, and follow me on Instagram & LinkedIn: https://linktr.ee/loudana ⭐ Did you enjoy this episode?
